More on Pages 6 & 7 Ashton News 2 ASHTON UNDER HILL FIRST SCHOOL “Expect only the best” At the time of writing, it is nearing the end of term and tomorrow the whole school are visiting Stratford upon Avon. We have undertaken some work on Shakespeare to mark the 400th year anniversary since his death, including a drama workshop based on “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.” We shall be visiting the theatre for a backstage tour, as well as savouring the sights of the town. We are so fortunate to live in this part of the country with so many amazing places on our doorstep. In May, we were pleased to share a taste of the Ashton countryside with pupils from St Stephen’s C of E School in Redditch and they kindly invited us back and arranged for us to visit their local mosque – all fascinating experiences for the children. It has been an extremely busy term with so many exciting things going on, besides the “normal” lessons. This year we have had a focus on the arts and earlier this term we staged a fantastic art exhibition, featuring work from every pupil. We also held a poetry competition, which is now an annual event in memory of Sonya Grey and this year the silver plate was presented to Seth. We have done particularly well in sport, taking part in several inter- school competitions. Today the children took part in a small schools swimming gala and returned with sombre faces, so that I would predictably declare, “never mind, as long as you tried your best”, whereupon they erupted into ecstatic smiles and declared that they had won! Perhaps the highlight this term was celebrating the Queen’s 90th birthday. Work undertaken in school culminated in a special party with the playground decked out in bunting and picnic tables. Thankfully the weather stayed dry and over two hundred pupils and guests toasted the Queen, played pass the parcel and took part in a royal treasure hunt. To our complete surprise, the “Queen” herself made a royal visit, aka Freya, one of our pupils, and presented her loyal subjects with a commemorative coin. It was followed the next day with Open Gardens when pupils proudly showed around a great number of guests. It was certainly a memorable three days and summed up all that is so special about being a village school at the heart of such a wonderful community. At the end of term I am leaving Ashton. It has been a privilege to be Headteacher at this school and may I take this opportunity to thank everyone for making me feel so welcome. Ashton the village, as well as the school, has felt like home. Mrs Andrea Kirk, our Office Manager, is sadly leaving too and we shall both treasure such special memories of our time here. Mrs Alison Peacey will be the new Headteacher in September and I know that she is very excited about the prospect of becoming an integral part of this wonderful community.

Ashton under Hill / Beckford bell ringers (one or two but not a bus load!) The average age of the Ashton under Hill / Beckford bell ringers is now about 65, so in 15 – 20 years from now we may be too infirm and the church bells might fall silent. You may like that or you may miss them. Here in Ashton, the bells have been ringing for well over 250 years to celebrate Sunday services, weddings, funerals and special occasions. It is a unique skill, which may take some time to learn, but which is very rewarding. Our form of ringing is peculiar to Britain for historical reasons; we therefore have over 5,000 rings of bells in the UK like ours and only about 100 in the rest of the world. Being strong or musical is NOT a requirement as we ring by pattern and sequence. However, being available on a Tuesday evening is! So, if you are younger than we are, interested in learning a bit more and willing to support your local band, please contact Nick Hopkins, tel 881711 or 07790 831787. Ashton News 5 Ashton under Hill Open Gardens 2016 www.ashtonopengardens.co.uk More people came to the 2016 Ashton Open Gardens weekend than last year and the event raised just over £5500 to be distributed in the village.
